Media or Widget content blocks can contain an embed code for a video or other media, as well as scripts. In most cases, the code will contain an OBJECT, EMBED or SCRIPT tag.

Just as with links, images, or other assets, you can Add a new Media / Widget or reuse one that already exists on the system.

Want your media embed to be centered in the container box? You can open the Source editor and insert div tags around the embed code - example:

<div align="center">

<embed blah blah blah....>

</div>

1. In YouTube, Vimeo, and on other sites, look for a an option to Share and Embed.

2. Copy the embed code and paste it into the Research Guides Media / Widget box.

3. Both YouTube and Vimeo offer options for preview size, the ability to view full screen, colors, and other preferences. Unfortunately, even the smallest size video from YouTube won't necessarily squash all the way down for phone viewing.

4. Add a name, and viola, you are done!
